 When applying multiple provisioning packages to a device, the provisioning engine resolves settings with conflicting configuration values from different packages by evaluating the package ranking using the combination of package owner type and package rank level defined in the package metadata. A configuration setting applied from a provisioning package with the highest package ranking will be the final value applied to the device.
 
 After a stand-alone provisioning package is applied to the device, the package is persisted in the `%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Provisioning` folder on the device. Provisioning packages can be removed by an administrator by using the **Add or remove a provisioning package** available under **Settings** > **Accounts** > **Access work or school**.
